Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Noah Fant’s lack of production in recent weeks has nothing to do with his attitude.

Campbell is confident in the depth at running back. David Montgomery won’t play in the opening half against the Longhorns after being ejected for fighting against Baylor.

UNI versus Missouri State, 4 pm

Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley says another trip to the FCS playoffs is not out of the question as the Panthers get set to host Missouri State to close the regular season. A loss at Youngstown State dropped UNI TO 5-5 overall and at 4-3 in the Missouri Valley they currently share third place with Indiana State and Western Illinois.
